Yeah it kind of is. The article says nothing like what the headline suggests.

Samsung's actual response was more along the lines of: "Apple didn't invent the farking rounded rectangle. And if anyone had, it would have been these companies that made similar products a decade before the iPad came along."

just the other day i was at starbucks working on my screenplay when this guy sat down at the table next to me and pulled out what looked like a macbook pro, but was actually some kind of knock-off made by dell. i was blown away by the blatant rip-off move by dell: apple's clamshell design, portable sized design, a keyboard and trackpad (although it looked like they slightly changed the keyboard layout - NICE TRY DELL), even a power cord. i really hope once apple finishes with samsung, the sue dell into oblivion for copying apple's macbook design.

Why do you even care?

because his inferior macbook pro (i think he called it a "laptop" when i pointed it out to him) made the whole starbucks feel a little less cool and totally f*cked up my creative juices. because of that asshole, the world might never be treated to my modern adaptation of candide featuring barack obama as the title character. fark dell.

That's just sad. It's also the reason the world is full of apple fanboii hatred. Starbucks shares that derision.

Seriously, why do you give a flying fark that someone else decided to save some money and bought a laptop that meets thier needs?

why do i give a flying fark? maybe because i care about and respect intellectual property?! why can't dell come up with its own products rather than stealing from innovators like apple. i mean how blatant can you be: a mobile computer with integrated keyboard and trackpad? get off macbook's nuts, dell!

I think you won because someone posted calling you out on the troll, but I'm not really sure how the rules go. Gonna need a referee.

Because being called a "gay hipster fanboy" by a guy using a chintzy Macbook knockoff with a Dell logo on it contains enough frustrating irony to kill a horse.

That was pretty great work, I'm pretty sure the thread will just go downhill from here.

DerAppie:LasersHurt: How can you tell someone's a moron: They think the case is about a rectangle.

If only there was some way to see if form factor was an issue during this case. Something like just about every piece of news that has been written since the lawsuits started.

Just like every piece of news regarding medical research is about the cure for cancer we just discovered.

Journalists cut corners to make issues simple so it can be read by a majority of the populace. In many cases this is a good thing. In others it can mean missing important facts, incorrect information, os sensational stories to garner more readers/sales.

It's the reason we still have people blowing a gasket over McDonalds coffee.

Hah, well done thomps that was hilarious. Well the post by itself was hilarious but the fact that people seem to have taken it seriously took it to the next level. C'mon guys...he was talking about writing a screenplay in Starbucks, complaining about the hypothetical other guy's computer's "clamshell design" (that is, it opens up just like pretty much every laptop ever), it's portable size (of a laptop), the fact that it had a keyboard and trackpad....he even complained about that it had a power cord. A POWER CORD. Is it really just shouting out to you guys that this was a serious complaint? I think the only way he could have made it more obvious is if he had somehow added in something about how he was wearing a wool hat and gauged earrings or wtf ever they are called and hipster horn-rimmed glasses while he was checking in on Foursquare and listening to...umm...whatever hipsters listen to I thankfully don't know.

There hasn't been a intellectual property thread in all of the internet since the days of napster that had a chance. Add Apple haterz and fanboiis and its almost as much fun as the athiests/religeon fights.
